Nature preserves offer walk on wild side
One-Tank Trip / Western New York Day trips give kids a chance to hike, learn By Christine Smyczynski
At the visitors’ center in the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in Seneca Falls, children can touch antlers, shells, feathers and furs.
The warmer weather is upon us and school is almost out. However, many kids would be content staying indoors playing video games and watching TV, instead of enjoying nature.

Human Nature Photography Exhibition Opens at Phoenix Art Museum
Human Nature: The Photographs of Barbara Bosworth Opened April 19, 2008
PHOENIX, AZ–(MARKET WIRE)–May 8, 2008 — From bird-banders and their fragile catch, to hunters and their prey, from lush green meadows marked by tire tracks to undisturbed champion trees, Human Nature: The Photographs of Barbara Bosworth explores the conceptual relationship between humans and the environment. Opened April 19 at Phoenix Art Museum, Human Nature draws together nearly twenty years of contemporary landscape photography, and demonstrates artist Barbara Bosworth’s ongoing interest in peoples’ presence in nature.
Nourished by her relationship with the environment, Bosworth’s stunning nature photography reflects the beauty she finds everywhere. Although her passion for the subject is evident, her pictures do not pass judgment, nor do they attempt to persuade. The photographer acts as an invested observer, taking a compassionate view of the intricate fabric her human and natural subjects have fashioned in collaboration.
